The Emperor is Above

Chapter 271 Okay, let’s start fighting!

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know him. Could he be a new talisman master?"

"Our talisman master has never seen this young man in his classes."

"He was born with a good appearance, but unfortunately his brain is not very good."

"Yes, Zhonghang's character is like this. If he wins, he will just be arrogant for a few words, but if he loses, he will probably pester him endlessly."

Hundreds of students from the Imperial Academy were whispering to each other, and the discussion was buzzing, but no one knew Qing Yi, and their curiosity grew stronger.

The students from the weapon refiner camp watched the situation with mocking looks on their faces, while the students from the talisman master camp couldn't help but sweat over the recklessness of this strange young man.

“Eh? Isn’t this the silly country vassal standing at the entrance of the academy? He just entered the Imperial College. This is probably the first time he’s seen what a beast-fang puppet soldier is. How dare he challenge me directly! Hahaha——”

Zhonghang first looked at Qingyi in confusion, and then laughed wildly at his companions behind him. He laughed so happily that he couldn't help but cry.

Hearing the noisy discussions of the surrounding imperial students and Zhonghang Shuo's unbridled ridicule, Qing Yi remained calm, without any emotion.

His seemingly sudden decision to challenge the Bank of China was not a rash act but a well-considered one.

Qing Yi can only stay in the Imperial College for a month at most. If he wants to achieve his goals quickly, he must establish a strong image as soon as possible.

He said calmly, "I did come from a country pavilion, and this is my first time seeing a beast tusk puppet soldier, but I don't think it's difficult. Seeing that you are so eager to fight, I will grant you a defeat today."

"Haha, he actually said he would give me a defeat!" Zhonghang laughed even more unscrupulously, but his eyes became more and more cold and fierce.

Several of his companions behind him also kept howling and shouting: "Brother Zhonghang, teach this ignorant country boy a lesson!"

"A sparrow trying to survive and find food among the weeds in the countryside actually dares to challenge the swan and roc in the sky. Brother Zhonghang should make him realize his own worth. He is a newcomer who doesn't behave properly but behaves so arrogantly."

"Don't worry, brothers!"

Zhonghang said, making a cool gesture to his companions, then turned to look at Qingyi with a mocking expression, "Since you want to give me a defeat in an attempt to win the six crystal stones, I wonder what you are betting on?"

"I don't carry the crystal with me, I wonder if this thing is qualified?" Qing Yi took out the token given by the king.

When they saw the silver token, Yun Yi, Yang Hu, Zhong Hang Shuo and other children of noble families suddenly became enlightened. They were more or less well-informed and understood Qing Yi's identity in an instant.

"So you are the arrogant Guqiu Yi!" Zhonghang said as he looked at Qing Yi with an even more sinister look. He sneered,

"This is the capital city, the city in the clouds, not your lonely mound beside the Jiming Lake. You are not allowed to act tyrannically here.

A few days ago, we heard that you got this token from Junhou. We brothers have been waiting for you for several days, but we haven't seen you come to the Imperial College. We thought you were scared and ran away.

I didn't expect you to take the initiative to challenge me today. Very good, very good, I accept this token as a bet. Show me your beast fang puppet soldiers first!"

"As expected of the man who threw fruits into the cart, he really has a good appearance."

"I heard that when he came to the capital, girls all over the street went crazy and threw all kinds of fruits at him."

"Don't mention it. My sister met this guy that day and has been nagging my dad to propose marriage to her every day."

Hundreds of students from the Imperial College were immediately shocked when they heard Qing Yi's name, and there were many strange sighs among them.

Those who were well-informed began to proudly tell their companions about Qing Yi's legendary story, which also made many students who were oblivious to the outside world feel surprised and envious.

However, when Zhong Xingshuo turned around with anger in his eyes, the noise quickly disappeared, and the students looked at Qing Yi with complicated eyes.

Yun Yi, the son of Yun Shuyu, had a twinkling look in his eyes. He wanted to say a few words to help this strange boy, but after learning about Qing Yi's identity, he quietly withdrew his steps. On the contrary, the honest-looking boy who had just been questioned by Qing Yi could not help but anxiously persuade him: "Guqiu Yi, you don't even know the Beast Fang Puppet Soldier, why are you here to join in the fun!"

Qing Yi paid attention to the changes in the expressions of the hundreds of students around him, and even understood Yun Yi's little movements. He felt a little favorable towards this honest-looking young man's sincere and caring dissuasion.

"Haha, I don't have a beast tusk puppet soldier, but don't you have one?"

Qing Yi took the one foot and two inch tall animal tooth puppet soldier from the young man and commented unceremoniously,
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your puppet soldier is really crude. It's made of the teeth of an eighth-grade six-tusked tusk, and the runes and formations on it are engraved in a mess."

"Humph, I'm trying to persuade you with good intentions - you - how can you insult me ​​like this?"

The honest boy was so angry at Qing Yi's impolite evaluation that his face turned red. After all, this thing was made by him, and he felt deeply hurt in his self-esteem.
"Since you think nothing of my beast-fang puppet soldiers, then return them to me immediately and go find another one to fight Zhong Xing."

"Hey, brother, don't be angry!"

Qing Yi, however, held down the agitated boy and said with a smile, "I'm just borrowing it. If I win six crystals, we'll each take half."

The honest boy tried his best but couldn't break free from Qing Yi's palm. A trace of suspicion flashed across his eyes, and he relaxed his struggle, but still muttered unhappily: "No, no, the beast tooth puppet soldiers that Zhonghang mentioned are carved from saber teeth and ivory, and they will smash my puppet soldiers."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't break it for you!" Qing Yi chuckled and consoled him, then smiled at the dozens of young talisman masters around him, "Who can lend me a carving knife?"

After this group of young talisman masters knew Qing Yi's identity, no one dared to approach him. Instead, Yang Lezi Yaqing's son Yang Hu hesitated for a moment and silently handed him an exquisite carving knife.

"Yeah, that's good. This carving knife is at least made from the sharp teeth of a fourth-grade exotic beast, and it's also a talisman weapon." Qing Yi smiled and nodded to Yang Hu, and started carving the beast-tooth puppet soldier in his hand without hesitation.

"Novelty, really novelty!"

Zhonghang said to his companions with a sneer on his face, “We have been playing in the Imperial College for five or six years, and it was really before the first competition that some people carved animal tooth puppet soldiers on the spot.

What runes can a country boy know? Let's make sure he is well prepared and win the token given to him by the king. Let's see how he will look good in front of the king in the future."

"Shuashuashua——"

Qing Yi ignored the noisy sounds around him, and even turned a deaf ear to the cold words of Zhong Xingshuo and others. The carving knife in his hand flew up and down, constantly engraving various rune patterns on the beast-tooth puppet soldiers, and bone powder kept falling on the grass.

Previously, Zhong Xing said that when Qing Yi was competing with the Talisman Master camp, he carefully observed the puppet soldiers of everyone around him and was very familiar with this kind of doll.

He also absorbed and optimized every rune formation on the puppet soldiers through Pan Qing, and had a perfect plan in his mind on how to improve it.

Although the animal-tusk puppet soldiers made by these young talisman masters and weapon refiners from the Imperial College were simple and crude, they gave Qing Yi a new idea.

The talisman master is not just an independent profession, but should include as many skills as possible. If more advanced means are used to create large-scale combat puppet soldiers, wouldn't they be able to charge into battle like real warriors?

These thoughts flashed through Qing Yi's mind, and his hands moved very quickly without stopping. The originally rough animal tooth puppet soldier was completely changed under the action of the carving knife.

The honest boy saw that his hard work had changed drastically, and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken and almost cried. He was anxious and wanted to snatch it back.

However, Yang Hu pulled him back and whispered to dissuade him, "Don't be impatient, Zhu Zhiwu. The opponent is definitely a rune master. Wait a little longer!"

The noisy voices of the hundreds of students present completely disappeared, and everyone concentrated and watched Qing Yi's actions with bated breath.

Dozens of young rune masters had solemn expressions on their faces. Qing Yi's technique was too fast for them to understand. The rune formations he engraved were even incomprehensible to them. This was too embarrassing for a student of the Imperial Academy, but it was also very enjoyable and comfortable to watch.

Even Yun Yi said to the honest boy with a complicated look: "Zhu Zhiwu, you are going to take advantage of me today."

When Zhong Xingshuo's face was getting a little impatient, Qing Yi blew hard at the beast tooth puppet soldier in his hand, and bone powder flew everywhere. Then he raised his head with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's start fighting!"
